Joseph’s time in Egypt is even more tumultuous than his life in Canaan. The Ishmaelite traders sell him as a slave to Potiphar, a wealthy Egyptian merchant. Joseph finds great fortune with Potiphar, but his promotion through Potiphar’s household attracts the attention of Potiphar’s wife, who repeatedly tries to seduce him. When her attempts fail, she accuses Joseph of rape, which lands him in prison.
Well.. That escalated quicker than I imagined, of course, coming from such so much love and praise now becoming a nobody to everyone, just a slave. Then to be accused of rape completely turns his world upside down. I won't say Joseph deserves this due to what he caused in his won family, but this is a lesson from God.
